The number of good sites in less exposed locations for aquaculture farming is limited. Trends are now that the fish cages are increasing in both width and depth as well as more weather-exposed locations, are taken into use. As the net cages continue to increase in size, so does the material costs. The design of the sea cages should be modified for safe and reliable use in remote offshore locations. ...

Multiphysics analysis has become increasingly important in recent years due to demand in design and understanding of complex systems. The objective of the conferences is to share and explore findings on mathematical advances, numerical modelling and experimental validation of theoretical and practical systems in a wide range of applications.

Manufacturers consider carbon fiber as a wonder material for the world's economy. Its distinctive combination of high strength and low weight has helped drive the wind power revolution and make aircraft and ships more fuel-efficient. In addition, the carbon fiber structures can function longer and are more rigid than the traditional metallic models, making them more resilient in cold and more efficient ...

In this work, the IR thermography was used to study the steel specimens (DIN 50125 Standard) undergoing the tensile tests. The tensile tests were performed using GUNT® Hamburg Universal Material Tester. The tensile specimens were clamped, and the test force was generated using a hand-operated hydraulic system. A dial gauge measured the elongation of the specimens. Using the WP 300.20 system for data ...

CO₂ emissions due to massive industrialization have led to several environmental issues. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is one of the most important technologies that can be used to reduce anthropogenic CO₂ emissions worldwide. CCS projects mainly involve three processes: carbon capture, transportation, and storage. In the transportation process, the modeling of the flow in ...

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites have emerged as a major class of structural materials that have a significant potential use as a substitute for metals in aerospace, marine, automotive, and architecture due to their higher-strength-to-weight-ratio. CFRP is well suited for various applications, but their mechanical properties such as ‘low-velocity impact resistance’ are not well ...

This paper presents the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Multiphysics technique, applied to study the strength of ice adhesion between the surface of polyurethane and ice. The theoretical study of this work is based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory that is used to solve a four-point bending problem to give the correlation of displacements with load and longitudinal stresses. The physical samples were ...

The presented work discusses the vibration behavior of an axial turbine, analyzed using the finite element method (FEM) using commercial software ANSYS®. The turbine was modeled as a 2-D plate type of structure discretized with 4-noded shell 63 elements to save computational time. Constraints were applied keeping in view the actual operating conditions. The turbine was modeled with more than one FE ...
